Why is it important to fear the Lord?

Answered in 1 source

Fearing the Lord is crucial as it establishes a proper relationship with Him and leads to wisdom.

Samuel's exhortation to 'fear the Lord' in 1 Samuel 12:24 signifies an essential aspect of living in right relation with God. Fearing the Lord encompasses reverence, honor, and a deep respect for His authority and holiness. This fear motivates believers to turn away from sin and folly and encourages a life of obedience. As Scripture reminds us, the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom (Proverbs 9:10), implying that recognizing God's majesty sets the foundation for understanding and pursuing righteousness in all areas of life.
